Ideas thead for tolietemoji.gov

Post by mindwarped » Fri Aug 23, 2019 8:18 am

alright, just spitballing here

we find a domain name that really seems like it shouldn't be a valid domain name. say, toiletemoji.gov but with an actual toilet emoji instead of the words toilet/emoji. this may require some research

next, we go all-in on the [you] tags and word filters and scripts that change everyone's avatars into clowns and whathaveyou

and then we double down. and just keep going. until the place is a total funhouse. posts that float randomly from thread to thread. secret subforums where only bots post to each other. one day a month when the entire forum is pitch black. you get the idea.

toiletemoji.gov becomes a phenomenon. it's a roadside attraction. and a new lifestyle. people flock here because they *have* witness it first-hand, and stay because the rest of the internet appears lifeless by comparison. avant-garde posters from across the web are drawn here because it's the first and only forum where they might realize their true visions.

and then we set up a patreon and use the proceeds to finance the purchase of skeleton.party
this thread is for posting ideas for what to implement after we adopt our new domain name

or we can start implementing them now. why wait?

Hybridized Learning Posterbots

Occasionally the forum will spawn a bot which represents a hybrid of two randomly selected posters. The bot's name and avatar are RNN interpolations of the individual posters', and its posting algorithm is trained on a combination of their posting corpuses.

Safe and Secret Inner Posting Space

A tightly controlled inner subforum where we can continue to post earnestly and honestly with each other. essentially just the current manifestation of the message board, minus the sex (securities fraud) word filter.

Forum Rare Drops

I haven't thought of what the smaller ones could be, but the mythic one would be a one-shot opportunity to change another poster's avatar. it has to be rare and infrequent because that feature is really annoying to have always on or worse on for pay like on the kcw forum. Also ban Rylinks from then when he figures out the code to activate the events nonrandomly

this seems very exciting, though I'm not clear on exactly how it would work. does simply making a post earn you loot? are there lower-rarity drops? boss encounters?

exploding morph emoji seems like a gimme

instead of postcount-based rewards, how about a forum-XP-based level progression? with classes, tech trees and a gear system

many years ago, back when i was giving some consideration as to whether or not we could actually continue to lurch forever forward or not, i thought what might be a really interesting thing to do / that we could have done, while we and some other forum were pals, is to create and then exist as a subforum on that some other forum.

that other forum was somewhat more happening as a place at the time and kind of seemed like where people wanted to discuss movies and magic or whatever, so great, people could do that and then there'd be this hidden little hang out spot for the old guard or whatever which is pretty similar to what this place kind of is already, or was at the time, but, man, what would have been really horrible is that it would then have been this invite only hang out spot, which, robot really isn't that. this isn't supposed to be some exclusive club. it's just old and antiquated for people to exist at a place like this and we don't have any advertising

also there's a handful of other terrible flaws in that plan, but it kind of makes sense
